Designer with a background in product, creative and front-end. I get building and experimenting, testing market fit, taste and feasibility as I shape the idea hands-on and lead the work through until we ship.

Now Iโ€™m taking all of that into the AI age, building and experimenting with AI every day to turn ideas into real products faster.

I've spent 18 years designing products at agencies, startups and scale-ups. Most of that time has been in healthcare, ecommerce and fintech, usually on tools people use all day at work.

I started out in front-end development, so I'm comfortable in code and happy to prototype when it helps. I'm from Leeds, spent 12 years in Berlin, and now live in Helsinki.

I work with the people who are stuck, and the teams around them, until we agree on what's actually broken.

Delivery

Small, staged releases that each work on their own, with an agreed way to know they worked.

AI

Part of my everyday workflow, for research, early ideas, prototypes and automating the repetitive parts.

A front-end background, so I'm comfortable with constraints and happy to prototype in code.
